Answer 6

Aw, sweetheart, please don't be so upset.  What you're experiencing could be nothing more than a simple chemical imbalance in your body that's causing it to have trouble regulating it's own temperature, so when you're only a little warm, your body goes overboard to compensate for it by sweating.  Because you said it got worse after your second son, it sounds like your pregnancy may have played havoc with your body, which is not at all uncommon.

Please talk to your doctor about what's going on and trust me when I say that he or she will almost certainly be able to identify your problem after only a few tests and will likely be able to give you something to help for it.  Or it could even clear up in time on it's own, but you should probably get checked out just to ease your mind.

Excessive sweating can be caused by a lot of things;  low blood sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and other mundane things.  What it is NOT is your fault;  you sound like a sweet, smart young woman who is raising two children, something to be proud of since you're a whole year younger than me and I don't have any!  Please don't be embarrassed about this and let it keep you from going to the doctor to help you get your confidence back, because you deserve it.

Answer 7

Go to your doctor and get yourself checked out. I could just be your body producing too much of a chemical but get yourself checked just to be on the safe side. Best of luck to you.

Answer 8

I don't want to be too obvious but have you seen a doctor about this?  I have a problem with sweating excessively too but I believe mine is mainly because I am overweight.  Also, have you had your blood pressure checked?  These are just guesses but I hope they help.

Answer 9

yes you need to go to the doctors asap

i was excessively sweating for 2 years it wasnt until i started coughing up blood i went to the doctor i found out i had a tumor on my adrenal gland (pheochromocytoma). i'm not saying you have that, & because you talk about your child its probably not that, its probably just hormone imbalance, but you still need to see a doctor

hope it works out =]
